«rm With the Band”
Pamela Des Barres
Warner Bros.
Grade: B
OK, first Pamela Des Barres is
really in love with Elvis Presley.
But he goes into the army, so she
falls in love with the Beatles in
stead. When Pamela meets John
Lennon, he seems kind of snotty
and she doesn’t like the Beatles
anymore.
And then — guess what? —
Pamela meets Jim Morrison and
has sex with a real rock star!
Groovy!
Des Barres is an endearing auto
biographer. There’ssomethingcute,
in a creepy sort of way, about a
woman whose only ambition is to
go steady with a rock star.
And she goes steady with lots of
rock stars: Jimmy Page, then Mick
Jagger, then Keith Moon. She even
romances Don Johnson of “Miami
Vice” fame, even though he doesn’t
sing, play drums, or anything else.
But love is blind.
For any fan of 1960s music, hear
ing Des Barres brag on this spoken
word album about how she was
serenaded by one superstar after
another is pretty strange.
Page is no longer the guitar vir
tuoso who played “Stairway to
Heaven,” he’s the guy who was
really mean to Des Barres. Jagger
i sn ’ t the screaming fury of the Roll -
ing Stones, he’s just a boy who had
a really big crush on her.
In other words, the true ’60s
experience has a lot to do with Des
Barres.

“Your Little Secret”
Melissa Etheridge
Island Records
Grade: B
For Melissa Etheridge, “Yes I
Am” is a hard act to follow. “Your
Little Secret” isn’t bad, but it’s too
similar to her last album.
It’s not that “Your Little Secret”
lacks good songs, because the mu
sic is as strongly Melissa as ever.
The problem is that it’s nothing
new.
“Your Little Secret” is full of
love songs — so full that eight out
of the 10 tracks are love songs. And
they are till along the same vein as
“Come To My Window.” In short,
it gets a little tiring after a while.
Out of the first eight songs, there
are some great ones. But by the
time track nine rolls around, you
may be begging for another topic.
Any other topic.
“Change” starts to show prom
ise. But the album becomes so mo
notonous by then that you may be
gin to become desensitized.
The album ends on a powerful
note. “This War Is Over” is prob
ably the best song Etheridge has
ever written. From the insightful
lyrics to the warm, encompassing
sound, it is an excellent tune.
It’s a shame that the rest of the
album isn’t varied in topics, but it’s
still worth putting in a multi-disc
CD player — if it’s on shuffle.

Money
Continued from Page 9
make the bust.
Unfortunately, Charlie has gotten
into gambling debts up to his eyeballs,
and if he doesn’t pay off his debt by
the new year, the bad guys will give
him a few extra body openings.
John tries to help him, but Charlie
sees his only option to be robbing the
money train, which carries millions of
dollars in subway fares every day, and
is overseen by the ruthless Donald
Patterson (Robert Blake).
(Important note: it takes over an
hour to get to this point.)
Oh, there’s also a mini-plotline
which follows a criminal dubbed “The
Torch,” who sprays gasoline into sub
way token booths—and the people in
them — and throws in a lit match. It
doesn’t really move the plot along; it
just gives Wesley and Woody another
reason to run real fast and shoot their
guns.
Also flirted with is a love interest
between John and new transit cop
Grace Santiago (Jennifer Lopez), but
this also was underdeveloped and
rather trite in general.
Again, the chemistry between
Harrelson and Snipes is fantastic,
whether they are chasing after a rob
ber, sipping beers or whatever. But it
just doesn’t hold the story together.
Blake plays his role to the hilt,
making Patterson an obsessed man
you can’t help but hate instantly. Still,
he looks a little anemic.
Though few and scattered, the ac
tion sequences are pretty good. Some
chase scenes, one standard “Snipes
vs. a bunch of cheeseheads” scene,
and, although some of the train stuff is
kinda neat, it just doesn’t do it.
Mark Mancina has to be the busiest
music composer in Hollywood right
now, and it is beginning to affect his
Film: “Money Train”
Stars: Wesley Snipes, Woody
Harrelson, Robert Blake
Director: Joseph Ruben
Rating: R (language, violence,
one sex scene)
Grade: C
Five Words: Chemistry can’t
save runaway film
work. The exceptional, pulse-pound
ing music from his previous works
(including “Speed” and “Bad Boys”)
is nowhere to be found, and is instead
replaced with some rather pointless
drivel.
Still, for the action junkie who isn’t
too finicky, “Money Train” may just
be your ticket.
Surprise your folks.
